Dead Man's Gun was a western anthology series that ran on Showtime from 1997 to 1999. The series followed the travels of a gun as it passed to a new character in each episode. The gun would change the life of whoever possessed it.

Each episode was narrated by Kris Kristofferson. The executive producer was Henry Winkler.

Set in the Old West, this anthology follows the eponymous artifact, a handsome yet cursed gun that brings either disaster or fortune to whomever possesses it. In some cases in the former, the gun's more villainous owners are often killed at the end of the episode, though there are some points where they live and thusly suffer for their misdeeds.

Similar to shows like The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, there are often twist endings to the stories. For example, in the episode, "The Collector", the main character discovers that his servant is actually the infamous criminal, El Lobo, who then scalps him. However, the series finale, "A Just Reward", gives a twist ending to the series as a whole when it is ultimately revealed that the gun's original owner was the Grim Reaper.

Season 1 (1997–1998) (22 Episodes)
